A movie based on a first person shooter is almost as doomed to fail as a movie based on a Disneyland ride!
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, Haunted Mansion was a rollicking success.

Hey. New board.
A Half Life movie could work. IJS. And the storyline of Jedi Knight (and all the sequels of that game, for that matter) is about 20 times as good as the actual prequels. It could make a decent flick.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Instead, we may very well get Tetris with explosions sooner.
Dude, I don't remember where it was, but someone did make a movie poster to that effect. Might have been Something Awful, might have been somewhere else. But it was funny.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It could make a decent flick.
Not if Lucas were the one making it.
The principal appeal of Doom to me was watching Mike Nelson take on all challengers in 1996. In a convention full of 3,000 MST3K geeks, only one person was able to beat him.

And yet, he still paid to go see CORKY ROMANO. Go figure.

I did not know this:
Wild actor Gary Oldman has pulled out of the next Star Wars movie because he refuses to work overseas illegally. The Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban star had agreed to be the voice of evil Jedi knight killer General Grievous in Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith, but quit the production because it was made outside the Screen Actor's Guild rules. Oldman's spokesman explains, "Gary was excited and looking forward to working on the film. The snag is that the movie is being made without members of the Screen Actor's Guild. It means Gary would have been working illegally overseas. Out of respect and solidarity with the other members, he could not and would not consider violating the rules of his union."

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I saw Robocop for the first time ever the other night. It wasn't bad. My favorite part were the commercials, particularly for the nuclear attack family board game.
Poor Paul McCrane can't cut a break, can he? Face melts off in Robocop, regenerates his cancer-needing freak self in gross ways on The X-Files, and is bested twice by a helicopter on ER.
